July is International Zine Month!

Well whadayaknow?

What are you doing for international zine month? Make a zine! Buy a zine from a distro or a local business that sells zines! Promote zines!

Stolen Sharpie Revolution is an amazing little book/zine that is published by one of the undisputed zine queens of America, Alex Wrek. It contains all you'll need to know on making zines, starting a distro, and getting your zines into distros and local businesses.


Zines are awesome. You can say what you want. It can be personal, political, funny, entertaining etc. It's yours. Use your freedom to publish what you want by making a zine!

Bust magazine (among many others) started off a zine. The Riot Girrl movement started off with zines.

And many great graphic novels and books have started off as zines (Cometbus, Fart Party, Doris, Invincible Summer, etc).

Even the publishers of PoolBoy Magazine all started in publishing with making their own zines!

So get tah making a zine or finishing your zine this month!!

Cockies

I'm really late on this but these pictures are too good to waste. At the end of April the Pool Girls packed up some things and headed out to Phoenix's first annual Underground Publishers Convention held in the Stinkweeds Record Store parking lot. We chatted with publishers, writers, artists, comedians and zinesters peddeling their wares. Of course we came prepared with flyers, pick up lines, boner jamz, and some dick cookies.

Hmm? What's that you say? "What are dick cookies?" Well they are exactly what they sound like. DICK. COOKIES.


Personally we like to call them "cockies" but either way, sometimes you just gotta eat some cock. Especially sprinkled with a little sugar. Or pink and covered in chocolate sprinkle pubs.



Our good friend JDLC likes his covered in gooey white goodness.


Mmmmmmm. Yeah baby.
